At 10 O'Clock the long roll call brought them

ferred 10 it again He said that occasions
ike this always made him humorous. He
laughed to see how wise and dignitied these,
Young fellows looked. a. though each Of their
Young heads contained all the military knowl-
edge in the world. What glorious conf
dence, what magnificent innocence he eN-
claimed. The roar Of laughter that greeted
this made the Old general forget all about his
written address, and he struck out into one
Of his characteristic speeches, which vas
frequently panctaatei by hearty laughter
and aTplause by The auiieuce.
Gen Sheridan was the last speaker He
welcomed the graduates into the ranks Of the
army The general reviewed his own military
career and attributed his advancement to in
dustry, and to the fact that he was good to
his men, thereby securing their influence for
his advancement He then handed the cadets
their diplomas.
Francis r. Skunk, Of Pennsylvania was
the first to step forward, but the applauss
that greeted him, as the highest man in the
Class, was as nothing compared with the
thunderous hand-clapPing awarded Alex
amber, the colorei cadet, for winning the
second place in the class.
